This is a game changer for athletes with significant lower back injuries.

1000%. Plus, you can even bias this exercise further to isolate certain areas on the back! I love this exercise, too.

Awesome knowledge on this particular rowing variation man. You made clear this wasn’t a seal row , which im impressed you knew the difference( most people call the variation you demonstrated a seal row) . Ive been doing dumbbell seal rows for the last 6 months or so, but set up is a pain. How would you compare this variation of row to the seal row ? Pros, and cons of each.

Thank you! So you already hit one of the pros with this variation (ease of setup) and another one that I'd list is the potential to target the upper back a bit more. With a true seal row, your pros will be that it might be better for true lat development due to the angle of the setup and how you're rowing (think lat fibers, we want to row in a direction they're oriented), so if your body responds well to more true horizontal pulling positions, that would def be a perk. Also, we could consider specificity and that it might be a better option for improving things like barbell rows and other horizontal pulling movements. Cons - would be dependent on the context. Me shouting out random cons when they're very similar wouldn't do their specificity much justice. TBH, play around with both and see which you respond best to and which seems to create more effort for the musculature you're trying to target! Hope that makes sense & thanks for subbing!

@@thatfitfriend i knew i was asking the right person. Thank you so much for your input . My main target is actually the upper back ( mid traps, rhomboids) . I have a scheduled back day tomorrow, so ill definitely give the incline set up a go. Again ,thank you.

@@gariejoyce5263 give it a go and think about angling the elbows around 45 degrees, then do holds and tempos with lighter weight than you think to start. Your back should be lit up! Let me know tomorrow how they go because if this variation doesn’t work for ya, we can troubleshoot a few things

@@thatfitfriend Whats up Jake ? tried the incline dumbbell rows today at a 25 degree incline ( using my handy Protractor app ). Awesome replacement for the seal rows. They feel exactly the same as the seal rows without the PITA set up. I did them with a neutral grip elbows close to the body because I have a bad habit of pulling way past the body for that extra contraction, which causes some shoulder pain if my elbows are even slightly flared with an over hand grip. I did feel it in my lats,but i was able to hit the mid back also. Again thanks a lot for your help its appreciated.

Jake, how are your NOBULLs holding up? Still recommend them today? Bought some lifters with the super fabric and liked them, currently on the fence about getting some trainers

Yeah, they've held up well for me. I haven't had any breakdown with them. Note, I rotate shoes as I'm always testing new models with training, but the NOBULLs are still standing strong!

Is this a good variation to alternate in for cable row? I know you mention it in the video but what about for someone who's always used cable rows as their main variation (I never enjoyed BB Rows). I can still TBDL 500lbs.

Yeah, it can be to an extent! You can also alter elbow position to bias rear delt/upper back. You won't get as much lats with the chest supported DB row, IMO, but it's still a good variation to play with. Also worth trying some single-arm cable rows where you're rowing across the body. Those are a spicy variation as well for hitting the thoracic/lower lats!

Thanks for the reply, I really appreciate you taking the time, especially on an older video. I'm currently doing a back movement 4x a week. Monday - One-arm cable rows, Wednesday: Lat Pulldowns, Friday: Chest-Supported rows, Saturday: Chin-ups. I rotate variations every 6-8 weeks. Seems to be going good so far!
